Rebirth 1980: Marrying my sister’s best friend at the beginning

Chapter 98 The idea of ​​collecting mountain goods (please subscribe!)
On the gravel road leading to the county seat, the atmosphere on the mule car was a bit dull!
Tang Xue was in a bad mood, Li Na was worried, but Li Yi seemed to be fine.

After a long time, Li Na finally couldn't stand it any longer and asked, "Xiao Yi, what do you think?"

"What do you think?"

"Do you really want to bring everyone together to collect mountain products and sell them for money?" Li Na asked in a deep voice.

"Well, if I refuse again this time, I'm afraid it won't work!" Li Yi said.

"But, didn't you say that the shipment volume of state-owned restaurants is not large, and they can't eat so much mountain food?"

Li Yi smiled and said: "This is indeed the case, but mushrooms and fungus cannot be sold unless they are fresh, and dry goods are also very valuable!"

"You mean if you can't sell the mushrooms, just dry them and sell them as dry goods?" Li Na said in surprise.

"Ok!"

"Where can anyone buy it?"

"Why not!"

Then Li Yi continued: "It is now the growing season for mushrooms and fungus. There is no shortage of these in the mountains, so naturally no one buys dry goods!"

"But it won't grow in winter, so we have to rely on dry goods to survive, so sister, don't worry about lack of sales!"

"That's okay. I thought you were really choked by the villagers, so that's why"

Li Yi smiled and said: "The people in the village are indeed a factor, but they are not the most important!"

Then Li Yi said again: "Right now, the idea of ​​equal pay for equal work is still the mainstream. Most people are not afraid of poverty, but are afraid that others are richer than them. This is what it means not to worry about poverty but to worry about insecurity, not to worry about scarcity but about inequality!"

"Our family has been a bit too high-profile during this period, which has caused dissatisfaction among many people. These male educated youths are just the beginning. If we continue like this, it won't be those bastards who harm us! "

Hearing Li Yi's words, both Li Na and Tang Xue shuddered.

People in the village are usually simple, but if their sincerity harms others, it is also very scary.

Li Na said again: "Aren't you worried that all the people in the village are going to pick mountain products and delay farming? How to solve this problem?"

"Good solution!"

Then Li Yi continued: "I plan to give each household a quota of twenty kilograms per day. No more!"

"What do you mean?"

Obviously, neither Li Na nor Tang Xue understood what Li Yi meant by the twenty-pound quota!
Li Yi smiled and said: "I plan to collect mushrooms from the villagers at a price of two cents per catty in the future, but each family will only collect 20 catties per day, and only fresh mushrooms!"

"Then what if we pick too much?"

"Take it back and eat it yourself, or throw it away. Anyway, we are determined not to accept it!"

Li Na's eyes suddenly lit up and she said happily: "This is a way. No matter how many people there are in your family, I will charge you a maximum of 20 pounds."

"And these twenty kilograms are just enough for one person to pick. Even if the rest of the people pick it, they can't get money in exchange for it. They won't spend an extra manpower to pick the mountain products!"

Tang Xue also thought this was a good idea, but said with some worry: "There are more than 150 households in the village, and each family weighs 20 kilograms, which is 3 kilograms a day. One kilogram and two cents costs 600 yuan a day!"

"If only one-third of these mushrooms can be sold, then at least 400 yuan of capital will be accumulated. Can we afford the advance payment?"

Li Na also realized this problem, turned to look at Li Yi and said: "Yes, four hundred a day, which is more than 1 yuan a month. How can our family have so much money!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "Don't worry, we can now earn 600 yuan a day from mountain goods alone, so we can afford it."

"And it's already July. In a few months when the weather gets colder, the mushrooms won't be able to grow. That means we can advance the funds for up to three months and wait for the rest to be paid back!"

"More than three months is 4 to [-] yuan. If we lose this, then all our work this year will be in vain!" Li Na said worriedly. "We can't do it in vain. Just the money from setting up a stall can help us save a lot!" Li Yi said.

Although Li Yi spoke so confidently and relaxedly, Tang Xue and Li Na were still a little worried.

After all, for them, ten yuan is a huge denomination, and tens of thousands of yuan is simply an astronomical figure.

But what they don't know is that Li Yi is fully confident about selling dry goods.

The first pot of gold he made in his previous life was based on this, so he was well aware of the prospects of mountain goods.

Moreover, this year is the second year of reform. The economy in some coastal areas has already taken off. People's income is no longer 36 yuan. Many people can already earn tens or hundreds of yuan in monthly salary.

Once you have money, you will naturally have certain requirements for material life, and eating and drinking have become an important way to improve your living standard.

But now greenhouse technology has not been popularized, and people don’t have any fresh vegetables in the winter. What can be bought on the market are potatoes, radishes and Chinese cabbage.

As a result, many people have turned their attention to dried mushrooms, dried fungus and other dry goods.

More importantly, in a few months, the country will launch a pilot program for individual merchants in coastal areas, which will greatly stimulate market activity.

Therefore, starting from this winter, the prices of dry goods such as mushrooms and fungus have soared.

So there is no such thing as losing money!

Li Yi is just worried about whether he can keep these dry goods at home. This is one of the reasons why he limits the quantity of goods received!
Originally, Li Yi planned to wait until the warehouses and drying rooms were built before starting to collect mountain goods on a large scale.

But now that the issue of male educated youths has arisen, he has to move the matter forward.

Otherwise, it will offend those people in the village who cannot make money.

In order to save some trouble, it is imperative to collect mountain goods on a large scale.

While talking and laughing, the mule and carriage had arrived at the state-owned hotel!

As always, he put down the mushrooms and cold skin, settled the money, and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

However, what surprised Tang Xue and Li Na was that in addition to purchasing a few bags of flour, Li Yi also bought a lot of chicken cakes, pork, malted milk, and even a bottle of ice cream.

After coming out of the supply and marketing cooperative, Li Na immediately asked: "Xiao Yi, why did you buy these things? I remember you just bought Xiaoxue cream!"

Li Yi smiled and said: "I didn't buy this for my wife!"

Hearing this, Tang Xue also raised her head and asked, "Then who did you buy it for?"

"My eldest sister!"

"Miss?"

"Well, I plan to go to Juziwa later to see my eldest sister. By the way, I want to tell her about my marriage!" Li Yi said.

Li Na nodded and said, "It's time to inform you. I see that the good days for you two are coming soon!"

Li Yi looked at Tang Xue, and then asked: "Daughter-in-law, do you want to go with me?"

Tang Xue thought for a while and said, "I'd better forget it. After all, I haven't been through the family yet. It's not a good idea to go to my aunt's house!"

Although Li Yi felt that this was not a big deal, he thought that the local people did have such a special emphasis, so he no longer forced it.

"Okay, then you and Third Sister can go to the textile factory to set up a stall in a while. I'll come back to pick you up in the afternoon!" Li Yi said.

"Row!"
